Gross anatomical structure and physiology of the human body pertaining to Endocrine, Blood, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Nutrition, Urinary, Fluid and electrolytes, and Reproductive systems. These systems will be studied in detail. Laboratory work will include microscope study of tissues, examination of preserved specimens, dissections, and familiarization of life-like models of the above systems and structures. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: Upon completion of this course the student should be able to locate anatomical structures on human models, pronounce the anatomical language, and understand the physiological systems of the human body. The following objectives summarize the primary outcomes of the four instructional units within this course. 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the hormonal control mechanisms of the human body including the functioning of the endocrine system for chemical integration of physiological processes. 2. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the blood, cardiovascular, and lymphatic systems as it pertains to circulation and immunity. Students will be able to identify the organs and vessels along with their location. 3. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the respiratory and digestive systems by being able to name the significant structures of each system and describe physiological processes significant to respiration, digestion, nutrition, and metabolism. 4. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the urinary and reproductive systems by being able to name and locate the organs in both the male and female system. Students will also be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the physiological processes of reproduction.
